Question

I’m trying to do a query that selects mike if it isn’t in the three highest bids for a keyword. Rows 4 and 7 should be selected.

So in final, if mike isn’t in the three highest bids for a keyword, then select.

How do I solve this? With a sub query?

$construct = "SELECT child.* FROM `temp-advertise` child
    LEFT JOIN `temp-advertise` parent on child.keyword=parent.keyword
    WHERE child.name='mike'
    ORDER BY child.id DESC";

 id  |  name| keyword    | bid   |
   1 |  mike|  one       |  7    |
   2 |  tom |  one       |  4    |
   3 |  ced |  one       |  6    |
   4 |  mike|  two       |  1    |
   5 |  tom |  two       |  5    |
   6 |  har |  two       |  5    |
   7 |  mike|  one       |  3    |
   8 |  har |  two       |  3    |

Answer 1

SELECT  *
FROM    `temp-advertise` ta
WHERE   ta.keyword = 'one'
        AND ta.name = 'mike'
        AND ta.bid <
        (
        SELECT  bid
        FROM    `temp-advertise` tai
        WHERE   tai.keyword = 'one'
        ORDER BY
                bid DESC
        LIMIT 2, 1
        )
